A doctor by the name of Christian Assad in Texas has demonstrated an app on his blog that instructs Glass' wearer to perform emergency CPR. As far as creativity combined with practicality and usability - everything that makes a good app - this should have coders and designers champing at the bit to get their own pair of high-tech specs.
THE CPRGLASS SCENARIO
1) Person walking, witnesses someone passing out (syncope)
2) Individual says “OK GLASS, CPRGLASS”
A) Instructions appear ABC (Assess Airway, Breathing and Circulation)
B) “OK GLASS, No Pulse!” (An algorithm developed by Hao-Yu Wu et al at MIT demonstrate how a normal camera can detect a pulse in a person with strong accuracy.)
We are looking incorporate such algorithm aka (which will be open source) ”Eulerian video
magnification” to CPRGLASS for 2 reasons;

We are looking incorporate such algorithm aka (which will be open source) ”Eulerian video
magnification” to CPRGLASS for 2 reasons;
1) Will help as an innovative method to assess if the compressions are adequate
2) Will be able to tell us if patient has regained pulse if we stop compressions, possibly, instead of even having to look for a pulse
2) Will be able to tell us if patient has regained pulse if we stop compressions, possibly, instead of even having to look for a pulse
3) This triggers the following algorithm
A) Staying Alive Music starts which will guide you to do the compressions at a rate of 100/min.
B) Gyroscope tells you if compressions are adequate enough by moving
C) Tracks TIME of CPR initiation and number of compressions given
D) Calls 911 with your GPS based location
E) Via GPS will try to find nearest AED which information is being obtained by crowdsourcing. Ex AED4US
F) Sends Txt Msg to nearest hospital with information regarding ongoing CPR for them to get prepared

Pretty awesome, huh? Anyone who can incorporate the BeeGees into a life-threatening event gets a thumbs-up from us.
